Abstract
An articulated device includes first and second elements movably connected by a pivot pin. Each element has a borehole. A metallic bearing bush having first and second collars is positioned within the first borehole. The pivot pin has first and second steps having different diameters with the diameter of the first step being larger than the diameter of the second step. The first step has a support head. The steps have a stop between them. The first step extends through the first borehole and is supported on the second element by the stop such that the collars of the bearing bush enclose a portion of the first element adjacent to the first borehole. The second step extends through the second borehole and is axially secured therein. At least one of the collars is shaped into an end position and the second step is fixed in place by a rivet head.
Description
- This application claims foreign priority benefits under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a)-(d) to
DE 10 2005 057 010.0, filed Nov. 30, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. - 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an articulated device having two relatively movable elements such as two guide rods of a rod assembly for a movable motor vehicle roof, and relates to a method for connecting the relatively movable elements of the articulated device.
- 2. Background Art
- DE 40 30 855 C2 describes a joint for the bearing of levers, rockers, or the like. The joint includes a pivot pin and two relatively movable guide rods. The pivot pin includes a support head and a shaft which accommodate boreholes in the guide rods. The pivot pin includes first and second step sections. The diameter of the first step section is larger than the diameter of the second step section, which by a closing head establishes the connection between the guide rods on a side facing away from the support head. A plastic bearing bush encloses the first step section. A stop guides the first step section on one of the guide rods.
- DE 197 23 401 C1 describes first and second hinge portions which are combined so as to be relatively movable. A borehole in the first hinge portion includes a collar bushing. The collar of the collar bushing is guided around the outer boundary of the first hinge portion. A bearing bush having two cones is inserted into a borehole in the second hinge portion. An intermediate bushing is supported on the cone of the bearing bush facing the first hinge portion. An adjacent collar for the first hinge portion rests on an axial boundary of the bearing bush. A hinge pin and a nut hold both hinge portions in position. The hinge pin includes a head and passes through both hinge portions with the nut supported by one cone on the other cone of the bearing bush.
- An object of the present invention is an articulated device having two relatively movable elements in which the articulated device has a relatively simple design and satisfactory function.
- Another object of the present invention is a method for manufacturing the articulated device in which the method is easily carried out and is operationally reliable.
- In carrying out the above objects and other objects, the present invention provides an articulated device. The articulated device includes a first element having a first borehole and a second element having a second borehole. The articulated device further includes a metallic bearing bush having first and second radial collars. The bearing bush positioned within the first borehole. The articulated device further includes a pivot pin cooperating with the first and second elements to movably connect the first and second elements to one another. The pivot pin has first and second step sections having different diameters. The diameter of the first step section is larger than the diameter of the second step section. The first step section has a support head. The first and second step sections have a stop between them. The first step section extends through the first borehole of the first element and is supported on the second element by the stop such that the radial collars of the bearing bush enclose a portion of the first element adjacent to the first borehole. The second step section extends through the second borehole of the second element and is axially secured therein. At least one of the radial collars of the bearing bush is shaped into an end position and the second step section is fixed in place by a rivet head connecting the first and second elements.
- Further, in carrying out the above objects and other objects, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing an articulated device having first and second guide rods, a pivot pin having first and second step sections in which the first step section has a support head, and a bearing bush having a prefabricated state in which the bearing bush includes first and second radial collars, the first step section having a support head. The method includes placing the first guide rod on a pressing and flanging device and positioning the bearing bush in its prefabricated state above the first guide rod. The method further includes pressing the bearing bush into a first borehole in the first guide rod such that the bearing bush projects from the first borehole with a free bushing section and has a preliminary flange forming the second radial collar. The method further includes combining the first guide rod and the bearing bush into a unit. The method further includes inserting the pivot pin into the first borehole in the first guide rod of the unit. The method further includes inserting the unit together with the pivot pin into a sizing device. The method further includes pressing the pivot pin together with the first step section into the first borehole through the bearing bush such that the second radial collar is shaped into a final flange. The method further includes bringing the support head of the first step section into contact with the first radial collar. The method further includes inserting the second step section of the pivot pin into the second borehole in the second guide rod such that a free end of the pivot pin projecting from the second borehole forms a rivet head.
- An articulated device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes two relatively movable elements. Each element is a guide rod of a rod assembly for a movable motor vehicle roof. The guide rods along with a pivot pin and a bearing bush form the articulated device which may be easily manufactured with exemplary functioning and durability. The collars for the bearing bush and the step sections of the pivot pin as well as the rivet head of the pivot pin contribute in this regard. A groove in the transition region between the support head and the first step section and/or a groove in the transition region between the stop of the first step section and the second step section ensures a targeted tolerance compensation. The method for manufacturing the articulated device is characterized by ease of conversion and excellent process reliability. The steps of the method may be practically implemented using automated technology.
